asynchronus hardware loopers

[Dennis Montgomery <morpheus@speakeasy.net>]

Hi all,

  I've been happily working with my EDP+ stereo setup for many months 
now.  The main feature that I rely on for creating structure of a piece 
is NextLoop.  I'll record 3 or 4 independent loops and toggle between 
them like some twisted verse-chorus-bridge thing.  I conceptualize this 
as a "horizontal" looper where I build discrete sections and then chain 
them.  It's great for the way I work...but...the next thing that I want 
to do structure wise is I guess called asynchronus looping.  By that I 
mean laying down say a bass part in 4/4, then overlaying a drum part in 
5/4, and maybe a vocal part in 7/4.  I conceptualize this as a 
"vertical" looper where 1 section is built on top of the other.  I'm 
guessing this is the concept of the Looperlative, correct?  Throwing a 
Looperlative in front of my EDP+ setup is way too much money for what 
I'm looking for.  Are there other hardware loopers I could get to add 
asynchronus looping to my EDP+ setup without paying so much?

I'm thinking that by putting an asynch looper in front of my EDP+ setup 
I could create "vertical" loops then package them as "horizontal" loop 
sections and have the best of both worlds  :-) 

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Dennis
